We could have taken that approach with cars as well. Who needs more than 20HP anyway? We should have just kept repairing the Model T and been happier with what we have, right?

Maybe the EU 🇪🇺 should legislate that German car companies should cease to produce new cars and instead commit to repairing what they have already produced, for free presumably?

Take your disgust at this post and now apply it to what you’re talking about 😂.

Your car gets serviced for free for decades after you’ve bought it? Damn I’ve been ripped off all these years.

Was there, perhaps, a way you could have given this message without the snark? It might make people listen to what you’re clearly passionate about. If not then they’ll continue to do what’s easiest for them and share a link: amp or not.

Something to think about 😂.

Sounds like he had serious issues in life and wouldn’t likely be able to hold a job or complete a scholarship. Not to mention he’s ruined any form of trust you would need to be a security consultant.

A mental health assessment used as part of the sentencing hearing said he “continued to express the intent to return to cyber-crime as soon as possible. He is highly motivated.”

The jury was told that while he was on bail for hacking Nvidia and BT/EE and in police protection at a Travelodge hotel, he continued hacking

This doesn’t sound like a kid that accidentally found some loopholes in a website and got lost down a rabbit hole. Instead it sounds like he deliberately knew what he was doing was wrong but didn’t give a shit and was quite happy to blackmail users why threatening to reveal their personal data he had stolen.

Let’s hope they can reform him over time, poor kid.

The part where you didn’t understand what I said, misinterpreted it so badly, assumed something that wasn’t implied, and went on a rant equating people with dangerous severe mental illness (as in the kid in the article) to people in the creative arts.

The answer seems simple. Digitise the wills and any of historical value as identified by an independent body made up of Twitter historians can keep the originals for prosperity and research 😂.

Digitise the lot and start with new wills. I understand the value to historians of keeping old pieces of paper but at some point the costs of that have to be evaluated against the benefits. You can’t just say “it’s of an unquantifiable amount therefore we need to keep them”, that’s such a lazy cop out.

In fact I’m increasingly frustrated that all legal documents aren’t digitised. Shuffling paper around is so backwards and a nightmare to search and index efficiently.

mannycalavera ,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Are you talking about the cost of digitising? Or the cost of keeping paper records?

Because there’s more to this than simply how expensive is the format that we keep them in. There’s also how quick and easy it is to produce, to search, to share, to update. These are all positives when information is digitised that can’t be done if your will is a piece of paper forgotton underneath your bed.

mannycalavera ,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Doing anything but keeping them is crackhead behavior, it’s like ripping copper pipes out of your walls and selling them to keep your electricity turned on. A society has failed if it reaches that point.

I’m sorry but this wildly over simplifying the issue to the point that the copper pipe analogy and hyperbolic language isn’t useful. I respectfully hard disagree with this characterisation for the reasons I’ve explained in my other reply.

Putting a will (or anything other legal documents) on paper must have seemed totally natural hundreds of years ago but at some point we need to accept that we have different needs for these documents and different ways of capturing them.

I totally agree with you about security. That should be a principle in all of this. But that shouldn’t constrain us to recording on paper. If security is paramount then design a system whereby you can verify the veracity and authenticity of the digital document and create secured controls around their handling - hint these systems already exist today. Tampering and theft is certainly an issue but realistically so is it if you still had paper. It’s not uncommon for paper to burn, I have been told 😉.

Any system is fallible, but that shouldn’t mean we remove it from consideration.

If the EU will be the one to take this cunt down a peg then great. But I won’t get my hopes up that this doesn’t end with a slap on the wrist and money changing hands to make it go away.

So why did a jury find that Google held a monopoly but Apple didn’t? (www.theguardian.com)

“Google has taken great pains to appear more open than Apple, licensing the Android operating system to third parties like Samsung and allowing users to install apps via other methods than the Play store. Apple does neither. When it comes to exclusivity, Apple has become synonymous with “walled garden” in the public...

I wouldn’t expect anything more form the guardian. They’ve become pretty clickbait and reactionary lately. Quality has dipped.

mannycalavera ,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

You’ve misunderstood what I was commenting on. I am bemoaning the quality in general of the guardian as of late. Not the specific article.

The guardian is a good newspaper, don’t get me wrong, but it was way better back in the day under the previous editor. The quality has absolutely dropped over the past six years or so and any balance to an article is often rendered right at the end under a clickbait headline. These things have changed.

Buy look, that’s my opinion and you surely have yours. That’s fine too 👍.

Is the Android 13 screen keyboard a lot worse than Android 7's?

I mean the functionality where it guesses what word you are trying to type, after seeing a few letters, or when you type by sliding your finger over the keyboard instead of pecking individual keys. I have all the custom dictionary and self-training stuff shut off on my old Android 7 phone (didn’t want to upload data to Google)...

mannycalavera ,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

I find that if you type out the whole word, by swiping or individual letters, no matter how inaccurate your presses or swipes are it can guess the correct word with high accuracy. If you instead type out only a little bit of the word its ability to guess is shockingly bad. So it’s better to scatter gun the whole word than try and type accurately but only type the word partially, if that makes sense.

What annoys me is that I swear it didn’t use to take me trying to type the whole word before it guessed the correct word. So something has changed, yes.

Apologies I don’t know but: is Nvidia a US company? What happens if they decide China is the better market for them? They lose out on the US but gain on the Chinese? Doesn’t the US need Nvidia for AI dominance? Why would they actively piss them off?

Again, sorry I don’t follow these things closely.

Can I get UberEats to stop recommending to "bundle" alcohol from a liquor store to your order?

It just annoys me because I’m not going to order it and I’m abstaining from alcohol. But there’s always some “special deals” being advertised by UberEats on alcohol, as well as meat, dairy and eggs. It’s like they’re really sleazy and desperate to hawk these products.
